For a Princess Party...Princess Kate , Duchess of Cambridge

Hi!

Sofia had an invitation to got ao a friend's birthday party on Sunday.

A princess party.

Sofia does not have any princess costume anymore. Not buying any either. Sorry.

No problem!

Out went Disney Princesses and alike, and in came Princess Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. HAHA

Modernity here we come!

She loved the idea, so I put it into action.

Ah, needless to say how thrifty it was.

She had this gorgeous dress ( by the way purchased at Value Village 2 years ago), so all I had to do was a beautiful fascinator and put a baby in her arms. Yes, baby George!

An engagement ring is very important! It looks like this one belonged to her mother -in-law:)

I made the fascinator with felt, feathers, fake pearls, hot glue gun and very expensive french netting....haha NOOOOO ! I used one of those tomatoes bags I had kept in my craft pile as I knew someday I would use it:)

So regal! lol

And off she went to her party!

From gift card tin to needle case

Hi!

I have been sewing , kitting and crocheting a lot these last weeks, therefore using needles and thinks alike quite a lot.
I found this cute owl tin gift card box at Walmart for 1 dollar!

It is a perfect needle case after just .....nothing!

Just punch the plastic interior with the needles themselves and you have a perfect in all aspects needle case!!

A Joyful Christmas!

Hi!

From our family to yours, a merry and joyful Christmas, immersed in the joy of knowing that the saviour not only was born, but died, raised up from the dead and lives again and forevermore!

Luke 2:8-11

8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Saviorhas been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Do not ask me how I did this, lol! All I did was to set the camera in AV, and move it around when taking the photo... not technical at all!
